What is triple point of water? Mention the values of temperature and pressure at triple point of water

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Triple point : The temperature and pressure where a substance can coexist in all its three states is called the "tripal point".
i.e., The substance will exist as a solid, as liquid and as vapour at the particular temperature and pressure.
For water the triple point is at a temperature of `273. 16 K` and at a pressure of `6.11xx10^(-3)` atmosphere or nearly 610 pascals.
